Nice to see Vic Morrow, but he's a far cry from Sgt. Saunders in Combat or the punk in Blackboard jungle.

Maybe he was going for a TS look, but somehow the longer hair and mustache don't work for him.

I could be wrong, but I believe the woman we see surfing at the beginning of this episode (the one that is supposed to be Kacy) is surfing legend Rell Sunn, the "Queen of Makaha". It's hard to tell for sure because you really don't get a good look at her, but it certainly appears to be.

Rell had a brief appearance at the end of Season Four's "Dream A Little Dream".

Speaking of the opening surf scene, what's up with the "Kid on the Beach" (credited as such) checking out Kacy as she comes out of the water?!

The title of this episode got me thinking about the state of TV today. Basically, 'wave goodbye' to programming like MAGNUM P.I. Reality TV sucks!
I only watch TV for the Lakers games! The rest of the time I watch my complete MPI collectionm or I'm out experiencing life.

I was a little disappointed in this episode. It had no Magnum p.i. "charm." And Vic Morrow could only play one character, no matter what he was in... The kid on the beach (credited as Joey Coleman) scene was definitley a throw-away - no kick.

I like this episode mostly for Vic Morrow and Wings Hauser. ESPECIALLY Wings, cuz I love that man.

I think the biggest weakness with this episode -- and this was the fault of many television series of the 80s -- was that we had no prior knowledge of the victim. So we see Magnum all upset, but have no background really as to why, and then we never hear about her again.

I mean, you saw stuff like that all the time on stuff like Hart to Hart, but here we see a noticably (sp?) distraught Thomas, and yet, we don't feel that sadness ourselves. Not like when Tanaka died (as an example)...

Hey does anyone know how to get to the place they called the surfrider club in this episode

Hi there Bathurstfan, the location is included in my location guide, and you can find more info about it there.

The Surfrider Club was located here, although I suspect they built an exterior set against the side of this building and didn't actually use the inside. I haven't yet found where the interior was filmed. As far as actually getting there, you could probably use the directions on this page for the way to the Lost survivors camp. They're both on the same beach. The beach is public property, but I think if you actually went up to the building you would be at risk of meeting the security guards who are there mainly for the Lost set to the northeast. Although I'm not sure what the security situation is now that Lost is no longer being filmed.
